Meet the Blue Demons, a mascot that's as cool as it sounds This mythological mascot has a rich history, dating back to when DePaul University changed its name from St. Vincent's College in 1907. Initially, the teams were called the "D-men" because of their red uniforms with big 'D's on them, but over time, this evolved into "Demons" 🔥. The "Blue" part was added to differentiate DePaul University from DePaul Academy, with the university adopting red uniforms with blue 'D's. The name really stuck in 1922 when DePaul's student newspaper started calling the team the "Blue Demons" after a football game against other local schools. It's a pretty tough-sounding name, and it's meant to signify loyalty and strength . So, if you're ever at a game where the Blue Demons are playing, you know you're in for some fierce competition and a whole lot of school spirit 🏆
